A LOT ON HER PLATE – Joking that she’ll be using roller skates to dash back and forth between her Barnstable Village businesses, the Barnstable Restaurant and Tavern’s Susan Finegold was making plans to reopen “within the next week” the former Village Landing restaurant as The Blue Plate Diner. The Blue Plate will be open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. The licensing authority granted a new annual common victualler license Jan. 9.

Councilor meets constituents tonight

Precinct 13 Town Councilor Jen Cullum will hold a “casual conversation about concerns and happenings in our precinct” with constituents tonight [Jan. 13] at 6 p.m. at the Spa at Sea Street, between Main and South streets.

Author talk set for Centerville

Cotuit author Martin Sandler will speak at the Centerville Public Library Jan. 21 at 2:30 p.m. on his upcoming books, which range from The Impossible Rescue: The True Story of an Amazing Arctic Adventure to a volume of the golden anniversary of The Beatles.

Warm up with the Red Sox

The lack of snow has made McKeon Park look mighty attractive this winter, but it’s still too early to toss around the old horsehide. To fill the gap, the Hyannis Athletic Association has scheduled a “Hot Stove Event” at the Original Gourmet Brunch on Main Street, Hyannis, Jan. 21 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. The guest speaker is Red Sox team historian Dick Bresciani, who will talk about the centennial celebration of Fenway Park.

For tickets ($25), reply to Kim Wolfe at wolfeki@comcast.net by Jan. 16. The event is co-sponsored by The Barnstable Patriot and Wells Fargo Advisors.

By the way, there’s a snow date of Jan. 28, but we all know that won’t be needed, right? Right?

Full circle of caring

Caring for the Caregiver is the name of Roy W. Harris’s book and the subject of the Harbor Pointe Book Club meeting at 22 Richardson Road in Centerville Jan. 25 at noon. Harris will be on hand to sign copies of his book.

Superintendent will speak in village

MMVA Ham & Bean supper adds superintendent’s “saucy” treat

It’s appropriate that Barnstable’s superintendent of schools is providing a dish for the Marstons Mills Village Association’s Jan. 28 ham and bean supper.

The dinner benefits the association’s scholarship fund, including the Nestor “Knute” Silva Scholarship, and will feature homemade applesauce from Dr. Mary Czajkowski.

Also back by popular demand are Aunt Bea White’s homemade beans and Alex Frazee’s homemade Mac & Cheese.

Seating for the Saturday, Jan. 28 dinner is scheduled from 4 to 6 p.m. at Liberty Hall, 2150 Main Street, Marstons Mills.

The cost is $8 for adults, $5 for kids under 12.

Tickets for a 50/50 raffle will be available for $1 each or seven for $5. Winners do not have to be present to win.
